Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBDS-822:
------------------------------------------

The problem is not 2 specific links, but that the links are there in the first place. They will be outofdate almost instantly (i.e. on next release we will most likely update these dependencies.
We shouldn't have such links in our docs.

> I downloaed the pdf doc for the Birt integration.  
> Page No 3 has reference to download the birt plugins to install into JBDS.  Those references does not work anymore.  I get response 404 on the webpage...
> looks like those binaries are now moved to some other location.  
> This is a bad experience for customers/users if the docs are not reliable.  We should only included references in the docs that are expected to be permanent (atleast for few years).
